Cinema 10 film Monday in Potsdam takes 'absurd look at injustice and incompetence in Indian legal system'

Posted

POTSDAM -- Cinema 10 continues Monday, Nov. 7, with “Court,” at 7:15 p.m. at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.

The film is not rated and is 116 minutes.

Like something plucked from the brain of Franz Kafka, Court is an absurd look at injustice and incompetence in the Indian legal system.

A local poet singing the praises of revolution is brought up charges of inciting the suicide of a sewage worker. What he endures is not swift justice, but a barrage of insane delays and procedural misconduct.

With a mix of professional and amateur actors, Court won the Best Film in the Horizons Category of the 71st Venice International Film Festival.

“Court is one of the strongest debut features in years,” says Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice.

Tickets are $4.50 for general admission or $35 per season. Tickets for students and seniors are $3.50.

The remainder of the season schedule follows: Nov. 14, “A Pigeon Sat on Branch Reflectington Existence,” PG-13, 101 minutes and Nov. 28, “Chimes at Midnight,” not rated, 115 minutes.
